apis

== Catalan == === Pronunciation === IPA(key): (Central, Balearic, Valencia) [ˈa.pis] === Noun === apis plural of api == Crimean Tatar == === Etymology === From Arabic حَبْس (ḥabs). === Pronunciation === Hyphenation: a‧pis === Noun === apis prison Synonym: türme ==== Declension ==== === References === “apis”, in Luğatçıq (in Russian) == Latin == === Alternative forms === apēs === Etymology === Uncertain. Any connection with Proto-Indo-European *bʰey-, which gave instead fūcus (“drone”), is phonetically impossible. Traditionally hypothesized as from Proto-Indo-European *e/a(m)p-i- (“stinging insect; bee”), related to German Imme (“bee; swarm of bees”), Old English imbe and Ancient Greek ἐμπίς (empís, “a stinging or biting insect”). However, it has characteristics of a European substrate word. According to Vennemann’s Atlantic substrate theory, the ultimate source may be a Semitic word cognate with Egyptian ꜥfj (“bee”), though no attested Semitic cognates survive. De Vaan finds this plausible. Another hypothesis suggests an Osco-Umbrian loan from an original *akuis (“sharp, stinging”), as the Osco-Umbrian reflex of Proto-Indo-European labiovelar */kʷ/ that gives Latin ⟨qu⟩ is regularly /p/; compare aqui- (“sharp”) in aquifolius, aquilinus.
